Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    We have visited the place and check out sculptures and some shops, we did not eat anything or shop. We had done those out somewhere else so it was really nice to spend some time while it was drizzle out

    Brilliant exhibitions being shown, a great collection of modern and historic art.
    We attended one modern are exhibition, and photographic exhibition on the Harlem area scene in the late 80s, and a collection of historic paintings owned by the Medici family of Florence.
    Friendly helpful staff and a lovely venue

    I am the one who usually go to fea market when I visit places in different countries. Brussels, Belgium is the one city that I had been visit. Marche Aux Puces de Bruxelles is a fea market that I visit on July 2019. I spend there 1.30 hrs. It is my enjoyment time. I found some interest things but when I asked for prices, the seller gave me the higher price that I approximate in my mind. So I just enjoyed my window shopping and move to another fea market that I met it by my accidental in Brugges.

    We visited Woluwe Shopping Center in July (school holidays in Belgium), which may explain why it was so quiet, despite the fact that summer sales were in full swing. Covid-19 may also have played a role as many people tend to avoid crowded places these days. When it was created in 1968 the shopping mall was the first of its kind in Belgium. Since then, it has been enlarged and refurbished several times and, today, it doesn’t look different from any other mall and you’ll find all the usual suspects. But we did find an unfiltered olive oil we had been looking for everywhere at an Italian Specialty Shop (‘Spécialités italiennes’). There are several pleasant places to have a bite or a drink; the loos were clean. Maybe due to the glass roof of the central hall - a nice feature in itself – it was a bit too hot inside on a warm summer day.

    Tram 8 (stop Woluwe Shopping) left us opposite the mall. Metro station Roodebeek on line 1 is accessible from inside the mall.

    Reading the reviews, we were amazed Flemish (Belgian) reviewers have been allowed to rant against and even insult French speaking shop assistants and to compare this mall to others, so much better, in Flanders (and even in Germany!). Isn’t that supposed to be against TA rules?

    Sunday morning market right outside the Gate du Midi station.
    It was extremely busy as well as many stalls selling just about anything you want.
    Was great just to mooch around it seeing what's available to buy.
    Shame there's no markets left in the UK

    A blast from the past amidst the modern and arguably rather ugly commercial expressions of the Rue Neuve. Very elegant small scale shops in a pleasant indoor setting. Worth a visit for sure to get some relief from the hustle and bustle.

    I went in here to have a simple lunch with my mother. There is a limited choice of food but the choice available is simple and cheap.
    I had a sandwich with chicken and curry which was tasty, my mother had the sandwich with ham.
    It's a nice place a little separated from the store, a lot like marks and spencers in London.

    Unfortunately we couldn't pack some of the items we really liked. Friends in Brussels took us here on our last day - a Saturday - as we whizzed around the city with them after lunch. Amazing array of goods!

    A little bit of everything and the shop keepers are very welcoming and helpful. I loved walking around whilst it was quiet, plenty of parking. Great places to eat, hard to choose where to though. Been 3 times now and discover new shops each time

    This place is a must-go if you like to enjoy a good cup o tea, interesting conversations with the owners (who speak French, English, Polish and many other languages :)) and if you are into contemporary art. Every Saturday Happy Day opens its doors for anyone (for free!) to meet a new artist: painter, photographer, sculptor... You can enjoy an exhibition, while sipping delicious tea. Every artist is different, so you can get to know what's popular these days among amateur, as well as professional, artists in the heart of Europe. This place is hidden in the small cozy street which makes it even more authentic and special :)

    I heard the parking and other services are not free and that's slightly inconvenient for car owners. I, however, cam by tram and faced no difficulties into coming or leaving. It's huge with a whole bunch of amazing shops. Seriously, you can literally find anything you need there! There's so much variety of shops and food places and it's so clean.

    Since we visited the ‘Patinoire Royale’ for the first time we have been back several times because we just love the place. The Patinoire is a covered roller skating rink dating from 1877. Since then it has been put to different uses and today houses a contemporary art gallery. The building has been beautifully restored. Behind the white neoclassical façade lies a wowing exhibition space. Last time we visited auction house PIASA was presenting work of Belgian sculptor Olivier Strebelle (1927-2017) and design of the second half of the 20th century. A combination that worked very well.
